LONDON'S FASHION DEBATES IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A DISCUSSION ON MODEL HEALTH Bi-monthly, The Fashion Debates takes over The Grooming Rooms during the Spring Summer 17 schedule of shows to discuss ethical issues that affect the fashion industry, and in this season's pop up, the topic is ‘Should The UK Introduce A Model-Health Law?’ With two different viewpoints presented by model, Rosie Nelson (who was told by her agency to “get down to the bone”) in order to succeed, and is now fronting a national campaign, calling the Government to legalise and protect models. With a completely different outlook, journalist Candice Holdsworth voices her disdain, claiming that the Government's involvement in the modelling industry is is "deeply patronising". So this promises to be a lively and topical debate.
Other panel members are Amy Williams, fashion writer (YOU Magazine, Hello! Fashion Monthly, ES Magazine) and Leni's Influencer and Laura Watts - head scout and head of development at Leni's Model Management.
